Very honest place. Gave me his time, did test run with me to diagnose issue, looked under my car told me issue is a loose part not mechanical and sent me off. Honest car shops that I trust are hard to come by. He was very straight to the point read more

Went to another larger tire shop down the street to try and get a tire repaired. They said it would be an hour and a half. I drove around the corner and found this place. The owner took me right away. I was out of there in 10 minutes. He also put air in the other tires and inspected them. Super nice. I will go the again. Thank you, Joe. read more

This is my new go-to-place for car issues. I had my rear brakepads replaced. Joe is very honest. You can trust him. Great job and excellent service!! read more

Fantastic. Joe is honest, reasonable and can always be trusted. My daughter took her car to another place and was told it would cast $2100 to fix a variety of things. Joe did the what he felt was needed and the cost was only $200. read more

Thanks Joe! Came in to drop off and pick up my car for tire plugging during my work breaks. Joe is very professional and knowledgeable. Highly recommended Car Shop. read more

Joe's is our entire family's mechanic. Excellent service. Honest. Superior work and great value.

Came in for a nail in my tire and they fixed it quickly. Was in and out in less than 20 min and paid $25. Very nice and reliable.

Bottom line, they did fix my car, but prices are way out of line. A part from the dealer would have cost me $65, they charged me $185. Looking around, it appears it's only an hour job to replace part, I was charged $250 for labor. It is El Segundo.... Joes Auto Service got me back on the road and I hope the repair works, but after all said and done, prices are a bit steep. Partly my fault for NOT getting quote before work was done. Word to the wise.... But who can argue when your stuck, leaking oil? Hard to believe the dealer would have been cheaper and probably would have washed my car. read more

I have been coming here for years and now live in LV. I can't find a new mechanic and decided to bring my car back to el segundo. I had a problem with the traction control and had Joe look into the issue. There was no check engine light do he ran a diagnostic and it came back clean. After all his time, he didn't charge me anything. That is what old school mechanics use to do. I will continue to bring my cars here from las vegas. read more

My check engine light came on while driving to work. I work around the corner from Joe's and he allowed me to drop off without an appointment. Joe let me know what was going on with a phone call later. Thank you! read more

Great service, helpful people, and reliable. The employees were very helpful, informative, and friendly.they went out of their way to help me with my truck. read more

Joe is honest and fair. he has taken care of our cars for years! i just him to inspect, advise and repair as needed

Friendly, honest and provides a great service at a good price. We recently brought my girlfriend's car in for brakes. Another repair shop said the front pads and rotors needed to be replaced and that the rear brakes were leaking. I searched on Yelp and found Joe's. We brought the car in and Joe told us the front pads needed to be replaced, the front rotors could be turned, not replaced, and the rear brakes were not leaking. We had it repaired for less than half of what the other shop quoted. I'd strongly recommend Joe's for your car repair. Call first to see what his schedule is as he is well liked and well visited. Good luck! read more

This place is awful and disrespectful and disorganized. Don't waste your time or your money. All around Awful experience, and if I could give a negative Star rating, I would read more

Dropped car at shop without getting an estimate ti change alternator. Apon pickup Mechanic had charged $500 to replace alternator on 1998 Ford Expedition. Owner added serpentine belt to service at same price as he noticed it was worn. Thankfully the owner is a good guy. But I cant count on the owner being there next time sadly. Buyer beware. read more

Great and quick service. Always support the smaller businesses over the corporate mechanic shops. Their pricing was reasonable and they finish the job quickly. I will definitely be back! read more

I had my car towed to Joe's. It was fixed the next day. Needless to say I was surprised because there other vehicles besides mine there. There were two problems. The alternator was bad and the battery completely discharged. Joe replaced the alternator with a new (not rebuilt) one from the dealer and installed a new battery. Joe said that there were three different alternators with different power outputs and that my new alternator delivered 175 amps. He also replaced the serpentine belt that had worn down and removed a screw from the left front tire. Yelp gives Joe's Auto Services good reviews. I got to experience why this is. read more

Very honest hardworking man. He helped me when I needed help with my engine on my Kia. Will be returning for any future needs!

What I love the most about Joe's (besides Joe himself and his lovely down to earth demeanor) was that I felt taken care of. He was very direct with what my car needed (resurfaced brakes & new tires as it turns out)! I loved how communicative he was and easy to reach. They also got the job done way sooner than I imagined they would which was a wonderful bonus! I will definitely be back. read more

Because of a good neighbor and good luck I found Joe. Went in for an Oil and Lube job it was very well done and the price was right. Went back a week later to get the timing belt, and water pump changed the price was definitely right and the work was completed in a 1-1/2 days. I highly recommend Joe for his honesty and good service. Gladi Adams read more

Joe exceeded my expectations so much that it would be an affront to automotively incompetent millennials like myself to pass on sharing my thoughts. I was about to drive to work when I noticed that my front left tire was completely flat - I'll spare you the details of my ensuing hysteria. Me, being the catastrophic thinker that I am, thought I was going to have to drop $200+ on a new tire (and miss an entire day of work because no mechanic I called had my tire in stock). But then I called Joe and the pearly gates of mechanic heaven opened to reveal an honest and affordable solution to all my vehicular problems. Joe nonchalantly mentioned that I didn't need to purchase a new tire from him; he could work his magic and patch my tire up for $25. Yes, I understand that this is pretty standard pricing for this particular job, but he could have sold me a rubber chicken in my desperation to find a solution. I'm grateful for Joe, and recommend his great, local business to everyone in the South Bay! read more

We have had two Acuras worked on at this shop. Every time great customer service and honest pricing. They don't add in fluff costs, very straight forward- price for them to buy part and #of hours it will take them to fix it. They are even helpful when it comes to regular oil change and maintenance . And they work with you. read more

I've taken one of my vehicles here a couple of times and these gentlemen have been nothing short of amazing.

In and out! Like that! *snap* At 7:30am on a Saturday, I gave Joe a call and told him that I had a nail in my tire. I went in, and less than 15 minutes later, my tire was fixed and patched up! He was so kind to check the tire pressure on my other tires as well. Great prices for the services and honest business owner! Will keep coming back with any of my car problems! Thank you Joe! read more

Excellent service, honest, reliable. Eddie is personable professional and really know his stuff. He takes time to explain which I really appreciate! read more

I came here based off the reviews, but regret it. I honestly felt like he overcharged me because I'm a girl.. typical!.. As a female it sucks not being able to find an honest mechanic.. I won't be coming back here again. read more

Joe was honest and fair. Definitely recommend. Had one issue recommended by dealer and he said I really did not need.

Highest quality, affordable auto shop in South Bay. Joe is a gem and a great guy - he's real and won't jerk you around about what needs to get done to make your car running it's best. I've been taking my Lexus to him for the last two years! read more

I like Joe. He is honest, upfront and does his best to get you what you need and in a timely manner. I am not a car afficionado and thus I am pretty reliant on mechanics. I always hope that people don't try to take advantage of my lack of auto knowledge. I especially appreciate it when I get a tutorial and background info on my auto problems. Joe does his best to do this for me when I ask. If you've got to wait a while, walk the 1 mile or so to Blue Butterfly Cafe or the El Segundo Public Library to get some work done. Pro Tip: Call ahead and tell Joe the problem and your deadline. He will preorder your parts and try to get you in and out as soon as possible. read more

I have been using Joe for 24 years and have recommend him to many friends. He has serviced my 3 honda's, two infinities Qx4's, a maxima, and a toyoyta Camry. I now drive a Porsche and a BMW. I was very surprised to see J. F.'s review. I am sorry he only has two friends. Joe has almost all 5 stars. I'm not sure if he knows that what he said online he could be sued. I'm sorry Joe was not able to help him, so I recommended he lease a honda accord for $189 a month 0 money down and get rid of that 1999 buick ( empty your bank account car) read more

Joe's shop is simple, old school, no gimmicks, straight forward, and honest mechanics. Prices are usually 50% off of dealer and Work is just as good. I come here for all my oil changes and other services for my newer cars. Don't expect dealer service and amenities, but also don't expect over priced service. read more

I've got a big red camper van that I bring to Joe for repairs. He's HONEST, affordable, and friendly. The last time I brought in the van for repairs, he actually told me that he didn't think they were necessary and we held off. THANK YOU! He also quoted me a price and charged me less. AMAZING. Any issue you have with your car, come to Joe. read more

Best car experience! I had a flat tire and took it in this morning. They were able to find a nail, repair the tire, and have my on my way in about 15 minutes. They are incredibly nice and honest and I'll definitely be back next time I have any car issues! It's nice finding a great auto place! read more

I've been absolutely floored by the fantastic service at Joe's! Joe is such a delight to work with-- super friendly, helpful, and accessible. Every time I've called, they've pick up on the first ring and are always able to take my car in immediately. Oil change? No problem. Broken headlight? Didn't even have to get out of my car while they made repairs. Broken break lights? They had the part needed that even my local Honda dealer didn't have. AND they're about half the price as the dealer! Overall, I'm super happy with Joe's and so grateful I found them. Can't recommend enough! read more

Removed the screw a a patched up my tire in less than 5 minutes and didn't charge and arm and a leg. Great service. Would recommend.

What a d..k the guy that answered the phone. Got mad that I did not know what kind of oil my car took. I explained that I just bought this used car and he hung up on me. Merry Christmas. read more

Great service old school you'll be happy with Joe make an appointment for same day service

Probably the best experience I've ever had with a mechanic. Great work done in a timely manner and the cost was minimal! I will be taking my car to Joe's from now on for any repairs. read more

There are some secrets in life that you keep, like what Monica's brother showed us in her closet that time. But there are other well-guarded secrets that would be downright selfish to keep to yourself. Joe's Auto Service is just such an unknown gem. It's located on a small street in El Segundo, and looks anything like the best possible place to take your vehicle. It's far from fancy, and it's definitely on the small side. There are a few rusting hulks off to the side, and the waiting room could use a woman's touch. Okay, anyone's touch. But like sex with a big girl, it's what's inside that counts. That would be Joe himself, one of those rare people that loves what he does, and isn't overly concerned with becoming the next Donald Trump. What he is concerned with is fixing your vehicle, and charging you (or not charging you, as has happened on occasion) a very fair price to do so. Yes, you just read the words "fair price" in reference to a mechanic. What's more, he's a very nice guy, turns your vehicle around in a flash, and doesn't mind if you just show up with a busted car and no appointment. For those of you who say it's hard to find a good mechanic, flip that around. It's GOOD to find a HARD mechanic...wait, that didn't come out right... Before I make another unintentional and NOT AT ALL TELLING slip, let me just say this: Sometimes, people show you horrible things in closets, and it damages your belief in people. Then, almost on cue, great people come along and reaffirm your faith in the human race. Joe and his garage are without a doubt the latter. read more

I will NEVER go to this place again, and I suggest you look elsewhere first. This Joe character is a complete Crook! BEWARE! Truthfully speaking, it's my own fault. My first impression of him wasn't too favorable, I could sense the crookery almost instantly, still I placed my trust in this person. How foolish of me. But he has great reviews I thought... That's why I did it, that's why I trusted. The car was stalling, it wouldn't start right away, it didn't have much drive power, and the service engine light was blinking. I now know this means my Ignition Control Module needed to be replaced. But let me back track. I pulled up to Joe's (I had already called to ask if I could bring it in to get checked out, he said yes), he plugged the scanner up and the code comes back as 2 cylinders misfiring. Then he says he needs to check it out to see what's wrong with it, but since it's Saturday he can't check until Monday (why didn't he just tell me to bring it on Monday then?). I requested an estimate and he said he'd give me one when he finds out what's wrong. As I went to the car to transfer our things from our car to the rental car, he decides to ask my gf how much the max was that we were willing to spend (red flag that I totally ignored) to fix it. She came to get me immediately. I told him no more than $500 (it's an older car, 1999 Buick Avenue), and asked how much he thinks it will be. He says he's not sure, but it won't exceed $500. We ended up leaving the car there. He calls us within 30 minutes of us leaving saying it needs a new Ignition Control Module (but I thought he needed to wait to Monday to check it out). Anyway, I decided to buy the part and just have him install it. This is where I get robbed blind by this crook named Joe. I asked how long it would take to install the part, he says a couple of hours. I did some searching for the part and finally found one. I take it in and ask again, how long and how much? He's still saying a couple of hours and it'll be $175. I asked why so much to install the one part? He says they have to install it, drive it and reset the service engine light. I said that's too much and I rather take it elsewhere (at this point it's Wednesday, the car had been there since Saturday). He says ok but he has to charge for parking and diagnostic test. I was totally fine with paying for the test, but he never mentioned parking until I wanted to take the car elsewhere. So I decided to leave it there and asked if he could work with me on the price, he said sure. Thursday comes and the car is ready. I get there and he's now saying $150 total, because I asked him to 'work with me.' Instead of argue, I paid, got my car, and left as quick as possible. I reached out to my mechanic friend (who I should've got the car towed to in the first place, but he lives too far from me) to ask if the price was fair for the work that was done. He said that he robbed me pretty badly. He said that job takes .3 hours and that it should've been about $75 max, depending on where the shop was. So I spent all last night researching how long it would take and how much a job like this would run, my mechanic friend was right, of course. I even came across a 5 minute video (2 minutes was the guy talking) showing you how to install an Ignition Control Module. But Joe said a couple of hours, smdh. In conclusion, I was robbed pretty badly because I'm not that knowledgeable about cars (like most Americans, I assume). The job took about 5 minutes and this crook charged me $150, but initially tried to charge $175. It's my fault because I should have NEVER left without a written estimate in the first place. You live and you learn I guess. I will be contacting the BBB and all appropriate local and/or state departments about this guy. I don't care to get the money back as much as I care to warn people. This Joe guy is no different from any other mechanic in LA, he's a crook and you've been warned! read more
